Holly Bobo was in "fear for her life" when she walked into woods with man, say cops

Investigators now say the brother of missing Tennessee nursing student Holly Bobo did not see her being dragged from her home, and that they believe the 20-year-old was afraid for her life when she walked into the woods near her home with a man.

Listing by the FBI of the ten most sought after missing people list not only Holly Lynn Bobo (4-13-11) of TN but also Amber Elizabeth Cates (4-11-2004). They did not live far from one another, both were college age, and both look like sisters in the FBI photos. Are there other young ladies missing or abducted from this area?

The info here came from LE & news media. it was a mess but this same information is everywhere and trust me, it's a lot more accurate here.

Even NG's people (Mike Brooks, Levi Page) were passing on the same information as on this thread....because thats what the media & LE were at first telling everyone.

TBI Investigating Leads on Holly Bobo

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Search parties are still actively searching throughout West Tennessee for 20-year old Holly Bobo, who was last seen April 13 being abducted from her Parsons home about 100 miles northeast of Memphis.

On Monday Kristen Helm, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), responded to this Examiner.com news writer's email saying, "To reiterate what the Director [of TBI] said, no one has been ruled out at this time.

“However, the focus of law enforcement developing a suspect is outside immediate friends and family.

"Both Clint and Drew have been helpful and cooperative throughout the investigation. Clint, is being treated as an eye witness at this time,” Helm said.

Helm told FoxNews.com Monday, “We’re trying to develop a person of interest who maybe missed work or missed an appointment unexpectedly that day.”

This case has been interesting to say the least. I think the hardest part is that there hasn't been a "spokesperson" from LE giving updates. Therefore, rumors and speculation have ran rampant. Watching the mother during the family portion of the press conference was difficult. This is how I would expect a grieving mother to act (not like some of the other mothers out there right now - Billie Dunn, Terri Horman). So very sad!

As the search for Holly Bobo moves into day 6 the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations made a few announcements Monday: (1)They need more volunteers to come search Tuesday; (2) this is not a hoax; (3) they want people in the community to think about anything peculiar that happened since Holly went missing; and (4) the governor has tripled the reward amount.

During Monday’s press conference TBI Director Mark Gwyn announced that Governor Bill Haslam has increased the reward for information on the whereabouts of Holly Bobo to $75,000.

Gwyn said as of Monday there is no person of interest in the case.

Investigators went door-to-door asking neighbors near Holly’s home if they saw anything the day she disappeared, Gwyn told reporters Monday afternoon. Another 30 leads came in Monday, bringing the total of leads to about 280, he said.

In an update from Decatur County this morning, a spokesman with the Tennessee Highway Patrol stated that they would be trying some "new tactics", as the search for 20 year old Holly Bobo continues in West Tennessee.

Kristen Helm, with the TBI in Nashville, confirmed that 5 roadblocks were put in put in place this morning in the area of the Bobo residence around Swan Johnson Road and adjoining Myracle Town Road, among other roads in the Darden community area.

Father of Holly Bobo Continues his Search

Holly Bobo is being kept in the media view thanks to the missing nursing student's father, Dana Bobo. The man spoke today while encouraging the posting of decals and posters bearing the girl's image. This man truly seems heartbroken over the disappearance of his daughter, and continues to search for her every chance he gets.
